About

Features
Read full description

Chored is the parent app for Chored.ai—the family assistant that runs your household by text. Kids don’t need another app on their phone. They text your family’s Chored number to mark chores done, ask what’s on their list, swap tasks with a sibling, or book the car. You run everything from this dashboard: who does what, when, and what they’ve earned. YOUR HOUSEHOLD, COORDINATED • Weekly chore board — see the full week at a glance, filter by kid, add one-off tasks, and re-allocate when plans change • Smart templates — pin recurring chores to days, map templates to future weeks, and let the system balance work fairly across kids • SMS-powered for kids — assignments and reminders go out by text; kids reply in plain English • Allowance wallet — track earnings tied to completed chores • Car booking — log who has the car and when • Family members — add parents and kids, set who’s eligible for which chores • Activity log — see schedule changes and messages in one place • Busy schedules — when a kid has sports or practice, conflicts get handled without you playing scheduler BUILT FOR BUSY PARENTS Chored is designed for families who are tired of nagging, sticky notes, and group chats that nobody reads. Set up your family once, lock in your weekly rhythm, and let the assistant handle the back-and-forth—swaps, cover-for-sibling confirmations, and nudges when something’s overdue. The iOS app is your admin control panel. The same account works on chored.ai if you prefer a bigger screen at home. SUBSCRIPTION Chored requires a subscription after your free trial. Plans are sized for your family (number of kids). Manage your subscription in the app. Questions? support@chored.ai Privacy: https://chored.ai/privacy
